I was welcomed by cheers and joys when I returned to my own kingdom. I feel the sweet taste of freedom and independence. I felt like I was a captive, a princess locked in a tower...in a dragon’s keep who was finally freed from prison.
The trip was good and as I came nearer, the feeling gets better and better. It is the day when I returned that I realized what love and happiness really is. It is the day when I came back to my kingdom when I realized that there is so much more to life for I have been blindfolded for quite some time. Nothing can compare to the joy of being home.
...and nothing can compare to the joy of finally meeting the one true prince.
There had been pretenders before, fake princes who pretended to feel the pea under lots of mattresses. There had been princes who were actually frogs. There had been princes who spoke words of lies and broke promises. There had been clowns and false royalties. And I wasn’t that good to immediately determine their falsehood.
I didn’t notice that the prince I had been waiting for had always been around. I have seen him everywhere. He even exists in my dreams just standing in a corner, just an extra person in a scene where everyone is in motion while he is merely watching. I saw him in my dreams a hundred times but I did not give him much attention. I met him on covered paths and long walks but still I didn’t pay any attention to him especially that he seems to be just staring at me and never smiled even if I already smiled at him.
I had this dream once. A man with his silhouette stood under a bright light with his face unmasked. And he came to me and hugged me. I was confused coz I didn’t know him all I know is there was a different spark when his hands touched me. When I woke up, the only person that came to my mind was him. And after almost a year, he finally came. I didn’t know that all this time, he had been waiting for me in my kingdom and he was one of the happiest person to meet me in my arrival.
Though I was still guarded and the fear of making another mistake still enveloped me, I could no longer hide my true feelings. Yes, I am a princess. I am a princess who is once again captivated but this time, I allowed myself to be captured for this is the only way I could feel true happiness and true love.
In a wink of eye, without I realizing it...I have fallen into the arms of the man who lived in my dreams. After all, he wasn’t just a dream but he is meant for me for real.
My prince is now here. We faced challenges together and succeeded. We will build a great kingdom together whatever the hindrances are.
No one can ever stop us for our love greater than any other love. No one can surpass the love that we have for each other—no one but us. No one can untie the knot that we have magically created neither clowns nor frogs, neither false princesses nor fake princes. No one can break us apart for we are reigning our kingdom.
I am home. I am home with my prince and nothing feels so great than being home with him.The princess is back and I will never ever leave my beautiful kingdom again. I'll live here with my prince forever.
